The Popularity section of the Data dashboard is based upon a computation aiming at quantifying dataset consumption in order to establish popularity scores for datasets. This computation is based on 3 metrics: number of downloads, number of API calls and number of reuses. These 3 metrics indicate whether a dataset published into an OpenDataSoft portal can be considered popular or not, compared to the other datasets of both that portal and the OpenDataSoft data network.

Important

The scoring formula may change in the future. OpenDataSoft will notify all users if the computation to establish the popularity changes.

The Popularity section is divided into 2 parts:

on the left, 2 bar charts:

the top 5 most popular datasets

below, the top 5 least popular datasets

on the right, information about the popularity score of the selected dataset:

Label of the selected dataset

Dataset ID: technical identifier of the selected dataset

Metrics: number of downloads, API calls and reuses (if any) for the selected dataset
